Thanks Andrew that would be a great help. As I said when it comes to painting I havnt got a clue I have the air-brush etc, just dont seem to be able to make it work effectivley.

Acrylics, are those ( Showing my ignorance here ) Tamiya type paints. I have always used Enamels, and up till now I havnt had too many problems. But this one has me beat.

Mankster, what type of acrylics do you use? If they are better to use I will use them on my next project. HMS Amethyst, which is looking decidley sad here

Thanks

Paul
